Switch to a android phone and not use a apple device for anything

I’m going back to a android phone and I don’t have any other apple devices so I’m wondering if I can use my iCloud account and get my emails from my email address it’s also my Apple account id and I don’t want to lose it because it is a lot of work to get it all transferred to a different account and make sure that I get my new email address sent to the ppl who have my iCloud email address so I don’t know if it’s possible to use a android device but just keep my iCloud email address and my subscription to iCloud

To use iCloud for Android, you have to go to iCloud.com using any browser and log in using your Apple ID credentials. To use iCloud Mail with an Android mail client, you'll need to create an App-Specific Password:

Sign in to appleid.apple.com.
In the Sign-In and Security section, select App-Specific Passwords.
Select Generate an app-specific password or select the Add button , then follow the steps on your screen.

See Sign in to apps with your Apple ID using app-specific passwords - Apple Support.

Then use the @iCloud.com address you're using and the app-specific password you created to log in. See https://www.androidcentral.com/how-set-your-icloud-email-account-android.

Let us know if you face any issues setting this up!
